What We Do

The 12th Can is a student organization dedicated to eliminating food insecurity at Texas A&M University.

Our students operate an on-campus food pantry from start to finish. From food orders to product donations to food drives to pantry openings, we do it all.

​Our members are diverse, coming from a variety of different backgrounds, but we are unified in the spirit of service.​The pantry process is based on a client choice model, where we replicate a shopping experience for our clients. We feel that food insecurity is a humbling problem, and we want to serve our recipients with the highest level of comfort possible.

How our pantry works: A client simply has to come to our pantry location during an opening day, fill out required forms, show a university affiliated ID, and proceed to the pantry to take as much food as they would need.
